New Report Exposes Inadequacies of Customs and Border Protection Complaint and Oversight

The Kino Border Initiative, a member of the Southern Border Communities Coalition, and the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the U.S., the organization that represents the Jesuits, the largest religious order of priests and brothers in the Catholic Church, released a report shedding light on inadequacies within the Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) complaint and oversight system when it comes to investigating allegations of abuse.

"Intake without Oversight: Firsthand Experiences with Customs and Border Protection Complaints Process," is based on findings from 49 complaints filed by the Kino Border Initiative, a binational organization that works with migrants in Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, on behalf of individuals in their aid center who report having suffered mistreatment during their migration journey.
